Ubiquiti - AmpliFi Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System - White
- Key Specs
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Included: 1 (Quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes for a Wi-Fi Mesh System that come with the product.)
- Number Of LAN Ports: 4 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
- Wi-Fi Speed: 5.25 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
- General
- Brand: Ubiquiti
- Model Number: AFI-HD-US
- Product Name: AmpliFi Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System
- Color: White
- Security
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WPA2-PSK (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: None (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Network
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Standard: AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)

Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Included: 1 (Quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes for a Wi-Fi Mesh System that come with the product.)

- Port Type(s): RJ-45 (USB 2.0 connects external drives, gaming controllers, smartphones, MP3 players and other accessories.USB 3.0 transfers data faster than USB 2.0, but only when used with USB 3.0 devices.USB Type-C provides fast speeds and versatile power, featuring connectors with identical ends that plug in upside down or right side up. Adapters allow for video as well as backward compatibility.Thunderbolt provides ultra-high bandwidth for fast data transfer between devices featuring a Thunderbolt or MiniDisplayPort connection.HDMI allows you to connect a projector or display HD media on your HDTV or monitor.Media card slots allow you to transfer photos from your digital camera or camcorder.)
- Number Of LAN Ports: 4 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)

A: Hey Bill, This is the updated version of SKU:5736902. The performance is similar and the antennas have an updated look. Technology wise, (802.x compliance) they are the same. I have installed both the older system and the newer one and they both work great. Nate
A: bought this three weeks ago. Our house is about 4500 sq ft. Main router placed in office on far middle floor the with two antennae placed on middle floor on complete other side of house. Master bedroom on opposite side of house from main router on upper floor. Great coverage there and throughout upstairs and basement. Actually great coverage all the way to end of property (1 acre) as far away from main router as possible. I would imagine you would place your main router centrally in the middle with one antenna as far as possible on one side and the other on the other side (with the router in the middle). When setting up, the antenna will let you know what type of signal strength it is getting. I have been amazed how great the coverage/speed is so far and would fully recommend this product. I wish I had upgraded sooner. good luck jb
A: Based on what i am seeing with my Overview of the system, there are two extenders, with two different names listed. I am able to transfer traffic over to either one of them so based on my experience, I would say there are two extenders. I also looked at the "about" section for both devices and they have two different MAC addresses so I would say there are two.
A: No. Is all wireless
Q: My Blink system requires 2.4. Can you separate the 2.4 and the 5.0 signal with this system?
A: It will handle both bands without the need for any manual setup on your part. 2.4 only devices will connect at 2.4. For dual band devices the router has a feature (Band Steering) which directs devices to 5.0 first and if the signal degrades it will connect at 2.4
Q: Does this system require a Ubiquiti router as well?
A: This system includes a wireless router and two access points/range extenders. So you connect your cable modem to the Amplifi router, configure it through the app, and you’re good to go.
A: I've connected mine to NordVPN and saw a 20-30% drop in my speeds when wired (~1000mbps without VPN and 700-800mbps with it). These are average speeds and it's not like I did an extended test with hard data though, your mileage may vary. Couldn't comment much on the processor, but a lot of reviews say people comfortably have >50 devices connected without issue so I would guess it can handle concurrent users and multitasking just fine.
A: It does have a nice app but everything is on the touch screen on the unit too. We are enjoying the switch from our old nighthawk unit.....
